It is the little things that count, in woman's life and health. "The little pains, and other symptoms of womanly disorder, soon lead up to big things, serious pains, serious diseases. It is for just these ordinary, common, womanly troubles, that the use of a gentle, strengthening, female tonic, like CARDUI Woman's Relief has been found so successful, in thousands of cases, in relieving and curing. "I had been troubled with female complaints for 12 months," writes Mrs. Bettie Arp, of Ballplay, Tenn., "and although I was under doctors' care for four months, they did but little good. ' I took one bottle of Wine of Cardui and one dollar's worth of Thedford's Black Draught, and now I am better. I believe Cardui saved my life. We are poor people, but I 'shall always keep it in the house." It relieves woman's worst pains and regulates fitful functions.. Try it At AH Droggists in $1.60 Bottles WRITE US FREELY and frankly.

Awful Sight from That Dreadful Com taint, Infantile Eczema Mother Praises Cuticura Remedies. "Oar baby bad that dreadful cos plaint, infantile Eczema, which afflict ed him for several months, coiameno ins at the top of his head, and at last covering his whole body. His suffer ings were untold and constant misery, in fact, there was nothing we would not have done to have givea him re lief. We finally procured a full set of the Cuticura Remedies, and in about three or four days he began to show a brighter spirit and really laughed, for, the first time in av year. In about ninety days he was fully recovered. Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has always been our greatest pleasure, and there is nothing too good that we could say in their favor, for they cer tainly saved our baby's life, for he was the most awful sight that I ever beheld, prior to the treatment of the Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. Maebelle Lyon, 1826 Appleton Am Parsons, Kan., July 18. 1905." Point Won by Flattery. Gen. French, the English officer who represented that country at the recent French maneuvers, received the following letter after his tri umphant return from the Boe,r war: "My Dear'French: You are a great British general. I want your auto-' graph; but, whatever you do, don't let your secretary write it" Needless to say, the boy got the autograph, and a signed photograph of his hero to boot. Successfully Faints on Metal. Carl Lunde, a Norwegian artist, has made himself famous by painting on metal, an art even the Japanese have failed in, great as they are as metal workers. Lunde decorates ordinary tin with characteristic designs in col ors and illuminates an ordinary tray or plate that would otherwise be cheaply japanned. The method is his secret and only one of many clever nesses he employs to render utility artistic and decorative. raewBraEseSE KSHOWBUl inwef3.HfaVmvkW7 88 STOVE POLISH ALWAYS READY TO USE. NO DIRT.

Tears ago before the great iron trails were stretched across the coun try and the swift, fiery steads were passing over them drawing their loads of human freight and merchandise, the rivers of the land, especially the Mississippi and the Ohio, were the busy highways of commerce. But as the railway systems developed the river business declined, steamers that had plowed their way back and forth between the thriving river towns ceased to run, and wharves fell into decay for the railroad was too strong a rival, and soon monopolized the commerce of the country. But. of late years there has been a revival in the direction of the water highways, and a determined effort towards utilizing the splendid facili ties of trade which they afford. New York has by direct vote of the people appropriated 1101,000,000 to build a ship canal from Lake Erie to the Hud son, so that a cargo loaded in Chicago or Duluth may sail direct to Ham burg, Havre, or Liverpool. The city of Manchester, England, has spent $100,000,000 to get an outlet to the sea. Germany, France and England are ex pending even larger sums in the con struction of absolutely new cross country waterways. The Sault Ste. Marie canal has already paid for it self in the immense volume of trade that rushes through Its locks. And all this shows the tendency towards water communication. Movements are on foot both along the Ohio and the Mississippi river, as well as along the Missouri, for the im- Site of One of the provement of those waterways so as to admit of the use of the larger steamers. The slogan of the Ohio River Improvement association is "Dam the Ohio river from Pittsburg to Cairo," and there is a similar slogan being declared by the Missis sippi River Improvement association, which says, "Dam the Mississippi' river from St. Paul to New Orleans." And at a meeting of these two asso ciations at St. Louis during November the matter is to be eaergetically ex ploited. The fact that one Mississippi river tug can convey in six days from St. Louis to New Orleans boats carrying 10,000 tons of grain, which would re quire 70 railroad trains of 15 cars each, shows the possibilities of the project. The gathering of rivennen in St. Louis in November will be the great est coming together of people inter ested in America's interior waterways in the history of the country. At -its very outset, the Ohio River Improve ment association set itself resolutely, to the task of educating congress and the people of the river states to the vast commercial importance of deep ening the channel from Pittsburg to Cairo. Its leaders took the declara- tion of Andrew Carnegie, that "the re public now has more than 10,000 miles of connected river and lake naviga tion, which supplies the cheapest in land transportation for materials in the world." and they added: "The improvement of the Ohio will make it still cheaper." The Upper Mississippi River Im provement association was brought about by an equally patriotic and far seeing declaration. Four years ago a committee of representative citizens called upon the mayor of Quincy, I1L, urging some local river improvements. After a protracted interview as to the value of purely local improvements, the mayor said: "Do you know of any attempt having1 been made on the part of any congressmen who repre sent any of the five states bordering on the upper Mississippi to influence congress to make an appropriation for river improvement? 'Has any effort been made by the commercial organ izations, or cities along the river, to influence congress to this end?" "No." was the answer. "But." re- J two dollars a ton.

Fuhire for sponded one citizen, "It will be done at once." On that declaration the association was virtually organized. Preparatory to the reassembling of this great waterways' congress, which held a session in Washington last winter, with 600 river representatives present, a few freshly compiled facts and figures concerning the interests at stake will be found of value. ' The centers of population and activ ity in all lines of production have steadily advanced westward, until, without exception, they are now lo cated in the Mississippi valley. One half of the population of the United States resides in what may be cor rectly termed the Mississippi valley. This population has more than dou bled itself every 25 years of the past century. Should this rate of increase be maintained the year 2000 would1 find the population no less than 560,- ; 000,000. The area of the Mississippi valley,. 1,240,000 square miles, all told, is two-fifths of the whole continental area of the United States, and more than two-thirds of its arable surface. The population has shown a steady in crease. In 1810 the valley dwellers numbered but 1,000,000. In 1850 the number had increased to 8.000.000. Nor has the supremacy of the Miss issippi valley been confined alone to its increase of people. The centers of corn, cotton, oats and wheat pro duction, of the number, area and value of farms, are all within its con fines. The center of the corn production Proposed Wing Dams. of the United States is in the great river which divides Missouri and Illi nois, about midway the length of Mis souri. The center of wheat production is 75. miles west of Dez Moines, in the west central portion of Iowa. The center of oats production is about 100 miles east of Des Moines, in the east central portion of Iowa. The center of the number of farms is in Illinois, 110 miles east of St. Louis. The center of the farm area of the country is 48 miles southwest of Jef- ferson City, Mo. The center of cotton production is 34 miles north of Jackson, Miss. The center of manufacturers is 59 miles west of Cleveland, O. The center of population in 1900 had advanced westward until it stood six miles southeast of Columbus. Ind. These are important factors in wnat has been called the "resuscitation of the Mississippi river." The produce and the products are in the valley waiting to be moved; the people are in. the valley ready to ship and to travel. All that is needed is the crys tallizing of the rapidly growing senti ment into money with which to "dam j the Mississippi river" and revive the waning glory of the packet and of the freighter. With the construction of the Chi-cago-St Louis canal, freighters loaded with grain or ore at Duluth could reach the Gulf of Mexico without breaking cargo, and begin their trans Atlantic voyage there, as they will from New York, by way of the Erie canal. The completion of the Panama ca nal will further revolutionize the traf fic problem. By means of the canal steamers loaded in Duluth, Minneap olis, St Louis, Pittsburg, any port along the great waterways system, may reach San Francisco, Seattle. Honolulu, Manila, Yokohama, Hong kong, without breaking cargo, at great saving of time and money. Even the completion of the Tehuantepec railroad across the isthmus of Te huantepec. Mexico, Is not without far reaching result, as freight can be transferred across the isthmus, from ship hold to ship hold in two days' time and at an expense of only about : -. .,.

After a cup of tea he goes to hi3 desk and remains working at his play until far into the night. A Good Record. Ont of all the external remedies on the market we doubt if there is one that has the record of that world renowned porous plaster Allcock's. It has now been in use for sixty years, and still continues to be as popular as ever in doing its great work of re lieving our pains and aches. It is the remedy we all need when suffer ing from any ache or pain resulting from taking cold or overstrain. Allcock's Plasters are sold by Drug gists all over the world. John Stuart Mill. James Mill, his father, was a hard man, a clever man, and a crank a hedonist capable of making himself thoroughly disagreeable about the greatest happiness of the greatest number; a theorist who regarded his clever son 'as a suitable object for ed ucational experiments. He would not send him to school because schools were the fortresses of "prejudice," and taught the wrong things In the wrong way. He pro vided him with no playmates, and al lowed him no holidays, lest "the habit of work should be broken." Francis Gribble, In Fortnightly Review.
